Couture Patchwork, Sustainable Style

Peaceful Fashions is committed to providing sustainable products and using environmentally conscious techniques and materials whenever possible. One way we achieve this is through Zero-Waste design, which is the philosophy that waste is actually a valuable resource. Research suggests that between 15-20% of fabric is wasted in garment production; Peaceful fashions strives to eliminate waste in pattern design and manufacture. One way we achieve this is by using scrap material to create all-new and one-of-a-kind wearable art. Our stunning patchwork fabric is carefully and creatively pieced together to form a beautiful and unique piece of material.

Peaceful Fashions is incredibly inspired by this form of artwork, even our name is a play on words which represents patchwork. My very first collection, Structured Flow, is a mini-collection complete with 8 looks. I wanted to create looks that are beautiful, tailored and elegant but still fun and lively. It was also important for the collection to be as sustainable as possible. I used traditional patchwork quilting techniques combined with organic patchwork for a more contemporary look, using fabric scraps to crate the patchwork material.

I am so pleased to introduce you to Peaceful Fashions~ Patchwork Couture!
